Question 55
A number when divided by 18 leaves remainder 15. What is the remainder when the same number is divided by 6?
Solution
The number when divided by 18 leaves remainder 15, => Number is of the form = $$N=18k+15$$, where $$k$$ is a whole number.
Now, when $$N$$ is divided by 6, we get : $$\frac{18k+15}{6}$$
= $$(\frac{18k}{6})+(\frac{15}{6})$$
$$18k$$ is completely divisible by 6, hence the second term will determine the remainder.
=> Remainder when 15 is divided by 6 is $$15\%6=3$$
=> Ans - (A)
